No.... just destroy the economy. Try to keep up. These are the most recent pair of "investment" in commercial scale
generation of nuclear power in the U.S.
$39 billion spent on four identical Westinghouse reactors, one executive in prison, two more on the way,
no power generated for commercial sale, to date, 17 years after construction commenced. Two of four of those new
reactors abandoned after $9 billion of that $39 billion was expended.
Do you not think other U.S. electric utilities have been observing and taking note?
About the only time some conservatives are interested in environmental concerns is when they're complaining about the things that are trying to and are improving the environment. Have you ever seen one talk about the embedded energy of F-950s when they're complaining about Toyota Pious owners...

Meanwhile, while $39 billion on four reactors rated at 1125 MW each,
was being expended with no resulting nuclear power generation,
to dare, this Duke Energy project with output 1/8 that total generating capacity was built and has been producing revenue, at a cost considerably less than the $4.7 billion comparable cost for that generating capacity
if the only current U.S. nuclear generating project cost
is any guide. Russian aggression has also raised the world price of uranium and there is still no U.S. permanent waste storage solution
or a solution to protection from earthquake or terrorism damage risk, (see Japan tsunami).

Jul 22, 2020 — "The new station generates enough
energy to serve about 450,000 homes.
The $817 million station includes two
electricity-producing
power blocks ...
...The first 280-megawatt power block came online in December 2019, and the second 280-megawatt power block became fully operational in April 2020.
As part of the project, Duke Energy shut down a 1960s-era coal-fired power plant at the Asheville site in January 2020. Demolition of the coal plant is underway, with completion expected in 2023.
The Asheville Combined Cycle Station is Duke Energy’s most efficient plant in the Carolinas – and 75% more efficient than the retired coal plant it replaced."
